I am about 18 weeks along and have just begun to feel my baby move. Hooray for quickening! However, now that I can feel the baby and it's more real to me I'm suddenly creeped out by the thought of having something or someone growing inside me. Has anyone else felt this way or am I just weird?

You know I did not think anyone in the world would feel the same as I do and your here now asking the same question Ive always wondered about. I think it does feel weird especially around the time where they start kicking you and moving around. Ive always thought about how they eat the same food you eat and then go to the bathroom inside you. Im sorry if Im not making this any easier on you but I feel just the same.

Yes! It was a very weird feeling. I'm 22 and a half weeks, and the fact that something...make that someONE... was growing inside of me really freaked me out at first. My sister didn't make matters better by saying how "gross" it was (she's older and never wants children). But now I'm used to it..it's still a bit odd feeling his kicks and movements, but I love seeing how happy my fiancee is when he can feel it with his hands! Being freaked out doesn't make you a horrible person. I think that with the hormones racing and the fact that we're now responsible for a vulnerable life, it's normal to have these crazy emotions. As long as you're not depressed, there's nothing to worry about. If you begin to feel more concerned, tell your doctor immediately.

Haha! Don't feel bad. I felt the same way! I sometimes get a little creeped out thinking of a human inside me kicking around and poking me in the stomach...it's all very sci-fi to me (even though...yes I know..it's a very wonderful, natural, beautiful thing blah blah blah).
Don't feel bad about it...it's definately a weird thought knowing something is growing inside you...

With my first I felt that way. It really made me feel funny when my daughter began to do flips and I could feel her pushing her body against the surface. After awhile I began to love it and would get overly joyed by the thought of her being inside my belly. Enjoy it while you can, the last two months are full of rib kicking and that's the most trying time.

You shouldn't be creeped out! I think it is cool. It is just kind of an everyday thing for me now (36 weeks) I am going to miss the little pokes and kicks when he is out though. It's normal to feel like that.
